Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
Mark, I looked at your patch again and think we should support relaxed conversions for ordering comparisons but not equality/inequality. This will improve on the current situation where we get flat-out misleading results for <, <=, >, and >=. It keeps the status quo for equality/inequality and thereby avoids the problems with __hash__. The only thing that I don't like about it is that you can't do the usual reasoning where "not a<b and not a>b" implies "a==b". Still, it is an improvement over "a<b" giving a completely useless and misleading result. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2531> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
